Just some tidbits from this hand as it played out on the featured table far from our sight. Ricardo Ibanez Rodriguez was the preflop raiser, and he called a three-bet from his next-door neighbor Ilan Boujenah.
From there, we were deprived of the action until the turn as the board showed . Rodriguez was the one doing the betting at that point, and Boujenah called a bet there, and another 125,000 behind the river.
Rodriguez showed down , and the trips earned him the pot. He's been doing good work today, nearly tripling his starting count as he stacks up close to 1.5 million now.
It was one coinflip too many for Borge Dypvik, he first doubled up with through Juan Navarrete's on an board to double up to 380,000.
A few hands later and Dypvik opened to 30,000 on the button before Jason Duval made it 75,000 in the small blind. Dypvik pushed and Duval made the call, the Norwegian was holding and was against once more. This time though, he couldn't spike on a board of and went out in 23rd place while Duval consolidates his chip lead on table 2.
From the cutoff seat, Bruno Lopes came in raising to 34,000, and Yordan Dimitrov three-bet shoved from the big blind. It was 214,000 total, and Lopes spent some time in the tank before making the call with his covering stack. He'd run into a monster, though.
Showdown
Lopes:
Dimitrov:
Lopes could not have asked for much better on the flop, and Dimitrov sunk a bit as he realized he needed to fade about half the deck with two cards to come. The turn was safe, but he was still a coin flip to stay afloat.
River:
That's in Lopes' neighborhood, and his full house overcomes aces to tally the knockout. It's Dimitrov who goes under in 22nd place, good for €13,000.
PokerStars Team Online player Javier Dominguez pushed all in over the top of a late position raise from Frederik Jensen, only to be snap-called by the Dane.
Dominguez:
Jensen:
The Spanish rail called for a jack but their cries went on deaf ears as the board went the way of Jensen coming .
Mike McDonald has leaked a few more chips after doubling up the shortest stack at the feature table. He called Ruben Setien Herrera's shove for 126,000.
McDonald:
Herrera:

Herrera still has a lot of work to do, but this is a good start.
Jason Duval raised to 35,000 preflop and Ben Spraggons moved all in from the button for 124,000, Ivan Tikhov made the call and Duval got out of the way.
